点评:I dont recommend this agency because they are scammers and thieves
We went in January 2025 on a trip to Srilanka and Thilina Prasad was our guide tour from Private Circle tour agency. I am disappointed with the level of dishonesty of this travel company. They only want to gain profit from you and try to overprice everything for the sake of making profit. Please read the following examples attached with some pictures for your reference.
First lie and profit he did: he overpriced our safari trip from 120$ to 160$. After he advised that the trip costs for two persons 160$, we agreed and went on the trip. But, i told him i want to pay by visa but he claimed that the machine is not working at that place so I told him to pay on our behalf and we will repay him later when we get cash. In brief, i figured out that he paid by Visa (check receipt i took secretly and took a picture of). The total price calculated as: 15000 LKR (approximately 51 $) + ticket prices for two adults ( ticket price+ car permit fees + service fees) = 120$. Meaning 40$ for his pocket.
Second lie: he advised that visiting turtles costs 50$ per person but i went alone with my friend and it costs 2000 LKR meaning approximately 7$. ( see attached picture of receipt)
Also, he took us for a “medical full body massage” for 40$ per person and the experience was useless. Please see attached that in 5 star resorts, massage full body is maximum 25$ per person (see attached pictures). So even in this he took profit.
Please, Always ask for receipts from guide tours and dont trust them because they are mafia that want to take advantage of your money.
翻译:我不推荐这家旅行社,因为他们是骗子和小偷
2025 年 1 月,我们去了斯里兰卡,Thilina Prasad 是 Private Circle 旅行社的导游。我对这家旅行社的不诚实程度感到失望。他们只想从你身上获利,为了赚钱,试图抬高所有东西的价格。请阅读以下示例,并附上一些图片供您参考。
他撒了第一个谎,并从中牟利:他把我们的野生动物园之旅的价格从 120 美元抬高到 160 美元。在他告知两人的旅行费用为 160 美元后,我们同意并继续旅行。但是,我告诉他我想用签证付款,但他声称那里的机器不工作,所以我让他代我们付款,我们稍后拿到现金后再还钱。简而言之,我发现他是用签证付款的(我偷偷拿了收据并拍了照)。总价计算如下:15000 斯里兰卡卢比(约 51 美元)+ 两名成人的票价(票价 + 车辆许可费 + 服务费)= 120 美元。这意味着他口袋里有 40 美元。
第二个谎言:他建议参观海龟的费用是每人 50 美元,但我和朋友单独去,费用是 2000 斯里兰卡卢比,约 7 美元。(见所附收据图片)
此外,他带我们去做了“医疗全身按摩”,每人 40 美元,但体验毫无用处。请参阅附件,在五星级度假村,全身按摩每人最高 25 美元(见所附图片)。所以即使这样,他也从中获利。
请务必向导游索要收据,不要相信他们,因为他们是想利用你的钱的黑手党。
